I've had 3 red days in the last 2 weeks! I've been busier, which I think makes me snackier, LOL! But...I've really got to get back on track & am struggling to want to! So, what helps you get back on track when you've been "off?"

- Planning extra-nice meals, that I look forward to
- Drinking enough - grabbing hot tea or something instead of a snack.
- Attending to other health habits (I often use food as a substitute for sleep/exercise)
- Limiting my focus. I can get back on track with No-S, but I can't do that and take up a new language and start a new exercise program and... and... and...
- Figuring out "triggers" and coming up with an advance plan.
Good luck! You've identified the problem, and that's the first step.

Well, this is only my 3rd week, but I find that when I want to snack, it is because I am either doing nothing or pretending to do something while really procrastinating. Either way, going out to take a walk gives me something to do and gets me further from the food with each step. And, if I have books on tape or podcasts plugged into my head, I usually totally forget about the food.

Just wanted to "ditto" KCCC's post.- Planning extra-nice meals, that I look forward to
- Drinking enough - grabbing hot tea or something instead of a snack.

Planning extra nice meals/foods I really love ALWAYS helps me when I am running "thin" with will power to stick to habit
Drinking enough - especially water is amazing, because in the past I have definitely had the bad habit of reaching for food when I was really just thirsty
Getting enough sleep is huge for me. I really try to make it a point to get enough sleep and if I don't I try to make up as I can on weekends
Simplifying things is huge and especially helpful in today's world
and, taking a little time to figure out the triggers is very helpful,
oh and of course Habitcal is a great visually motivation tool!
